On June 27 RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian received the OSCE
Minsk Group Co-Chairs Bernard Fassier (France), Matthew Bryza (USA)
and Yuri Merzlyakov (Russia) and the Personal Representative of the
OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk.

During the conversation Minister Nalbandian presented Armenia’s
position on the proposals the Co-Chairs presented to the parties in
Madrid in November, 2007 and noted that the belligerent statements
of the Azeri leaders complicate the establishment of an atmosphere
of trust and achieving progress in the negotiation process.

The Co-Chairs informed Minister Nalbandian about the results of their
meetings with the President and the Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan,
stressing the necessity of solving the Karabakh conflict exceptionally
in a peaceful way.

The mediators assured they will continue the efforts in the direction
of bringing the positions of the parties closer based on the Madrid
proposals.
